Opinion bought and paid for by the telcos and **AA's
I wonder how much Richard Bennett is getting paid to spread his faulty and roughly improvised opinion to as many people as he can. I'm sure "con"-cast has their PR's hands on this.
For those of you who argue that the throttling is absolutely necessary and that switching to UDP(bypass throttle) would be the death of the internet? (Assuming ISP's let it happen that way by never wanting to upgrade capacity)
I would have to respond with the statement that streaming video is increasingly becoming the majority of bandwidth consumption.
Do you think it would be fair and legal to throttle you tube videos as well?
Actually no, the folks at Comcast tell me they're completely OK with the UTP scheme, which they see as a means of being more polite in the face of congestion than TCP is. They're actually its biggest defender, apart from BT, Inc.
So no, this isn't a shill thing. It was actually a reaction to Karl's article on UDP being a means of escaping throttling in Canada. Anyone who buys that is probably going to be disappointed.
